Good morning,
Please note that weekly enrollment reports will be paused until FORM A numbers are confirmed for Fall 2026.
Enrollment:
This chart below reflects our Fall 2026 numbers as of September 13, 2026.
In addition, I've attached the CUNY Dashboard Report, also dated 9-13-26.
This report compares our enrollment with the other CUNY colleges.
Enrollment Target:
Our Enrollment Target is 6,750 students; we are currently at 7,154 students.
Final enrollment numbers are locked in by CUNY. This is referred to as FORM A.
This is 21 days after classes begin. We expect this to be on or around September 28th.
